Ten Summer Additions Completes Little Rock's 2022 Roster

LITTLE ROCK – Little Rock head baseball coach Chris Curry has announced 10 summer additions to the Trojan roster, completing the 2022 roster for Little Rock. The 10 newcomers consist of eight transfers and a pair of freshmen, including four players from the state of Arkansas.
 
"I like the mix this class brings," Curry said. "There are veteran players we were able to get via the transfer portal, some junior college transfers and some high school players as well. Coach Noah Sanders and coach James Leverton did a great job of rounding out this recruiting class and we feel they will be able to supply an immediate impact both this year and in years to come."
 
The 10 summer additions will join the 10 signees from the fall signing period as the newcomers are all on campus, getting set to begin fall workouts in a matter of weeks.
